El precio de la vivienda se encarece un 3,6 % en el segundo trimestre del año

The INE’s Housing Price Index confirms a sustained upward trend in the Spanish real estate market, with a year-on-year increase of 3.6% in the second quarter. This rise, primarily driven by new housing, marks 37 consecutive quarters of increases, reflecting a market dynamic in which recent supply exerts significant pressure on overall prices. The disparity between housing types and regions is notable: new construction is the main driver of growth, while the second-hand market experiences a more moderate increase. This divergence suggests that demand is heavily concentrated on new developments, which could indicate adjustments in supply or buyer preferences favoring newly built properties over the existing housing stock. The relevance of this report for the open data community lies in the transparency and accessibility of the INE’s official data. By providing detailed indicators disaggregated by region and housing type, it enables researchers, analysts, and citizens to audit the evolution of the real estate market. These open data are essential for evaluating public housing policies and understanding regional inequalities in access to homeownership.
